"Give me a kiss and the keys", that's what old Johnny said "I gotta get that big rig rollin' down that lonesome road ahead" And he held her close and whispered, "Sweet, sweet Louise I'll be true till I bring back your kiss and the keys" About a hundred ninety miles down the road the big rig came to a stop By a big big yard and a house full of kids and they said "Howdy, pop" And standin' in the door was sweet Marie and he gave her a great big kiss And after a while he was leavin' again and he said goodbye like this "Give me a kiss and the keys", that's what old Johnny said "I gotta get that big rig rollin' down that lonesome road ahead" And he held her close and whispered, "Sweet, sweet Marie I'll be true till I bring back your kiss and the keys" About eight hours on down the road at a place called The Diesel Well Johnny got into a big bad brawl and they locked him in the cell But you can't sell old Johnny short he was quite a handsome brute And the jailer's wife took a likin' to him, she thought he was kinda cute "Give me a kiss and the keys", that's what old Johnny said "I gotta get that big rig rollin' down that lonesome road ahead" And he pulled her close up to the bars and whispered, "Honey, please I'll be true till I bring back your kiss and the keys I'll be true till I bring back your kiss and the keys"
